Without leaving home: a recipe for iced tea with cloves and barberry

To quench your thirst, it is not necessary to run to the store.

There are many ways to prepare yourself a refreshing drink, and iced tea based on cloves and barberry is one of them.

To do this, you need the simplest ingredients: four to five bags of black tea, a liter of water, one or two lemons, about five tablespoons of sugar, two or three sprigs of fresh mint, seven cloves and barberry (ten pieces). Well, and ice - three or four cubes per glass.

First of all, a pot of water is placed on a strong fire, and barberry, cloves and mint stalks are immediately added there. Leaves are left for later serving.

When the water starts to heat up, put the tea in the bowl, and cook for five to seven minutes, without bringing to a boil. Pour sugar there, and mix everything well.

In the resulting drink, we survive one lemon, and then set to cool. Then pour into glasses, put ice, lemon slices and mint leaves there. Rescue from the heat is ready.
